FA Charged Zlatan And Tyrone With Violent Conduct

Manchester United's Zlatan
Ibrahimovic and Bournemouth

defender Tyrone Mings have been charged with
violent conduct by the Football Association.The pair clashed
during the 1-1 draw between their sides on Saturday when Mings, 23,
landed on the United forward's head with his studs.Moments later, Ibrahimovic caught Mings in the face with his elbow at a corner.Both players have until 18:00 GMT on Tuesday to reply to the charge."The
players were involved in two separate incidents in or around the 44th
minute which were not seen by the match officials at the time but caught
on video," said an FA statement.Deliberate elbowing and stamping
are both red card offences, so would result in three-match bans if
either Ibrahimovic or Mings were found guilty.However, Mings could face an increased ban for his offence.The
FA statement added: "Furthermore, the FA has submitted a claim that the
standard punishment that would otherwise apply for the misconduct
committed by the Bournemouth defender is 'clearly insufficient'.""Off-the-ball
incidents which are not seen at the time by the match officials are
referred to a panel of three former elite referees."Each referee
panel member will review the video footage independently of one another
to determine whether they consider it a sending-off offence. For
retrospective action to be taken, and an FA charge to follow, the
decision of the panel must be unanimous."Ibrahimovic would miss
the FA Cup quarter-final against Chelsea and league games against
Middlesbrough and West Brom if banned for three games, although he would
be available for Europa League matches.Source BBC News.
